    My computer freezes constantly and sometimes restart itself. :( error message "Watchdog...


    My computer freezes constantly and sometimes restart itself but often it just stays there frozen for hours and nothing happens. On Friday I got a blue screen with a sad face My computer freezes constantly and sometimes restart itself. :( error message "Watchdog... :( error message "Watchdog stop code" something like that. That only happened once and now it constantly freezes all the time. I just did a reset and kept my files but still it freezes. It is less than a year old. Can someone help? I use an ASUS VivoBook Max low end and on the latest windows update

    :)

    New CPU cooler for Ryzen questions and suggestions

    Your Ryzen 7 1700X should be close to 4.0GHz anyway, so overclocking is pointless.
    If the computer freezes then there should be an error listed in the crash logs, most likely a clock watchdog timeout, changing the cooler won't fix it.
    I'd suggest leaving the CPU stock and clocking your Ram up a bit.

    DPC Watchdog Error

    Hi,

    DPC Watchdog Violation (error code: DPC_Watchdog_Violation) is a common issue in the Windows operating system. It's occurred due to some specific reasons, like unsupported SSD firmware, old SSD driver version, hardware incompatibility
    issues, or system files are corrupted. To isolate this concern, kindly answer the following:

    • Any changes made on the computer prior to this concern?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so
      far?

    Computer restarts itself NO ERROR

    Hi Rassias,

    I will be glad to help you with the issue you have with the computer.

    What is the make and model of your computer?

    If Windows suddenly restarts without warning, or restarts when you try to shut it down, it might be caused by one of several issues. Windows could be set to restart automatically when certain system errors occur. A BIOS update can also resolve the issue.
    Use the information in this document to resolve issues with the computer restarting unexpectedly

    Follow the steps in this section, in order, until the problem is resolved.


    Step 1: Disabling the automatic restart option to view error messages

    Many hardware driver or operating system errors will cause the computer to display a specific error message before stopping the operation or shutting down the computer. However, if the
    Automatically restart option is enabled, an error message might not be displayed despite an error taking place. Disable this option to allow the computer to display the error message.

    Follow these steps to disable the Automatically restart option:


    • In Windows, search for and open View advanced system settings.

    • Click Settings in the Startup and Recovery section.

      Figure : System Properties window

      My computer freezes constantly and sometimes restart itself. :( error message "Watchdog... c04778888.jpg

    • Remove the check mark next to Automatically restart under
      System Failure, then click OK.
    • Figure : Automatically restart check box
      My computer freezes constantly and sometimes restart itself. :( error message "Watchdog... c04778889.jpg

    • Restart the computer.


    Please reply with the results, we are happy to help you further.

    Thank you.
